Summary
She went missing decades ago.
He is still looking for her . . .
Julie Nowak has been missing since 7th September 2003. It broke her family. Only her father, Theo, doesn't give up on her. On the 20th anniversary of her disappearance, Theo is contacted by podcaster Liv. She's come across a new lead. But if Theo wants to find out the truth he must be quick before his progressing dementia smothers everything in darkness.
Who has taken his daughter? Why does Julie's ex-boyfriend Daniel keep his mother's bedroom door locked, years after she passed away? And is there anything more gruesome than the uncertainty of not knowing what happened to your own child?
Romy Hausmann returns with an exceptional new thriller that picks up straight where she left her fans with the international phenomenon that was Dear Child. Just when you think you know where the story is going, she turns it all upside down.

Reviews
An emotionally-charged examination of loss, uncertainty, and the pain of broken familial trust. A well-written and absorbing mystery
A plot which is so deliciously twisted that it will leave you gasping, Darling Mine is an unmissable, mind-blowing journey as disturbing as it is compelling
PRAISE FOR ROMY HAUSMANN: 'Hausmann is a force to be reckoned with'
A peerless exercise in suspense
Claustrophobic, terrifying and fiercely compelling
If you read only one thriller this year, choose this one
The way each character was presented is really amazing, the father with dementia who narrates stories that don’t always make sense, the daughter, the journalists and the ex-boyfriend.
I loved how the subjects were treated and how we got different point of views from each character and different analysis on what happened.
Although I know Romy’s style very well by now, I wasn’t expecting the story to end like this and the ending made a lot of sense.
